Sandwiches. 
Aberdeen sandwiches are delicious. 
To prepare them chop fine some cold 
chicken, and half the quantity of cold 
boiled ham, or tongue, or both. Add 
white sauce, just enough to make la 
nice paste, season to taste with salt, 
pepper, and just a wee bit of cayenne. 
Spread on freshly toasted thin bread. 
If they get cold in spreading place in 
the oven and heat thoroughly. Serve 
hot. 
Peanut Sandwich.—Chop in the meat- 
cutter some nice crisp peanuts; add 
olive oil to make a paste; a sprinkle of 
salt and spread between thin slices of 
bread or crackers. 
Cheese Sandwich.—Put one-half pound 
good cheese through the chopper, add 
one tablespoonful butter, creamed; one 
tablespoon of any good hot sauce or 
catsup; a little vinegar; tablespoonful 
sugar, and a good big pinch of salt. 
Nice for whole wheat or white bread, 
and delicious between graham wafers. 
Bacon and Egg Sandwich.—Nice thin 
slices of streaked bacon; put on toaster 
and place toaster on shallow baking tin, 
and place in hot oven. When bacon 
is done you will find all the fat that 
has cooked out in the baking pan, leav¬ 
ing the bacon nice and crisp. Now fry 
as many eggs as you need and turn 
when you fry; in this way both sides 
will be cooked but not too hard. Plave 
the bread nicely toasted and buttered 
and kept hot; spread with nice crisp let¬ 
tuce leaves; on leaves spread broken 
bits of bacon, then an egg, then lettuce 
and toast. The round loaves from the 
bakers are nice for these sandwiches. 
Oyster ^Sandwich.—Toast 'bread on 
one side only. Drain fresh oysters on 
a napkin. Dip them in olive or salad 
oil, with a very little vinegar in; place 
on toasted side of bread and lay on 
another slice toast side down. Spread 
the outside with a little of the oil, 
place sandwich in toaster and toast 
to a nice brown, and be careful not to 
burn. Serve hot. 
Pot cheese laid on lettuce leaves be¬ 
tween white bread or crackers makes a 
very nice sandwich, as does celery. 
Chop celery very fine; add an equal 
amount of cream cheese and sufficient 
sweet cream to moisten to a paste. Pot 
cheese may be used with the celery; if 
creamy do not add the sweet cream. In 
cutting bread for sandwiches the loaf 
should be all cut before beginning to 
spread, and using the slices as they come 
off the loaf; in this way they will 
look better and more even, as you know 
all loaves are not the same size from 
one end to the other. I have often been 
troubled with the butter being too hard 
to spread. Now I cut it up in small 
pieces and place it in a bowl that has 
tepid water in it; this softens but does 
not melt it, and it will spread very 
nicely. _ J. A. M. 
A Reformed Mince Pie. —The mince 
pie construction noted on page 52 is all 
wrong. A vegetarian and teetotaler 
mince pie should be made so: Take 
German lentils and boil, straining off 
for soup most of the liquid as in making 
mince meat; then dry the remainder to 
the usual condition. Take chopped 
apples and spices, but use lemon juice 
instead of cider; some of the lemons 
might ft?” chopped fine. This makes a 
far better tasting pie even for the drunk 
ard and carnivora—as I have heard 
them say. elbert wakeman. 
Plain Rolls.—Make sponge with two 
cups of scalded milk that has slightly 
cooled, a scant quart of flour and one 
cake of compressed yeast dissolved in 
one-half cup lukewarm water. Cover 
and leave in warm place to rise. When 
light, stir well; add two teaspoons salt 
and beat in flour until stiff enough to 
knead, then knead until smooth. Let 
rise, then form in rolls the shape de¬ 
sired or in bread sticks; let rise again 
and bake in moderate oven until well 
done.

“The Sole of Steel”—or 
better still, send for a pair 
of Steel Shoes on the order 
blank below. 
Steel Shoes are 3 to 6 Times 
Better than the Best All-Leathers 
These are the greatest shoes for rough work that have 
ever been offered to farmers, stockmen and all who 
work outdoors. Shoes that fit the foot and keep their 
shape under any and all conditions. Shoes that have 
indestructible steel soles, turned up to protect the uppers. Shoes of wonderful ease and comfort, keep¬ 
ing the feet warm and dry in the coldest weather, regardless of mud, snow or slush. Shoes made so 
strong that one pair will outwear three to six Pairs of the best all-leather shoes! 
The economy of Steel Shoes is such that they save from $5 to $10 of your shoe money in a single year! 
And the saving in medicines and doctors’ bills will pay for a pair many times over. 
How Our 1909 Model STEEL SHOES Are Made 
Secret of Their Economy, Comfort and Endurance Explained 
These are the only Steel Shoes in existence. The combination of a specially made light, thin steel and 
the best grade of pliable, waterproof leather solves the problem of the Perfect Work Shoe, for all time to 
The adjustable steel rivets on the 19Q9 model Steel Shoes add the finishing touch of perfection. 
come. 
The Turned-Up Steel Soles 
We stamp the soles and an inch above the soles out of 
a light, thin, rust-resisting, seamless special-process steel. 
One piece of steel from toe to heel and all araund the edges. 
No cracks or seams to hold moisture or mud. 
Adjustable Steel Rivets 
The bottoms of soles are studded with adjustable steel 
rivets. These rivets serve the double purpose of protecting 
the soles from wear and giving a firm, sure footing. When 
partly worn they can be instantly replaced , by the wearer, 
with new Steel Rivets. 50 Extra Steel Rivets cost only 30 
cents, and will keep your shoes in good repair for at least 
2 years. And the rivets at the tip of toe and ball of foot 
are the only ones that wear. Steel Shoes never go to the 
Repair Shop, for there’s nothing to wear but the rivets. 
And the steel soles shed mud almost as easily as they 
shed water. 
Pliable Leather Uppers Riveted to Steel Soles 
The uppers are made of the very best quality of pliable 
waterproof leather fastened forever to the steel soles. No 
water or moisture can possibly penetrate Steel Shoes. 
They are always bone dry inside. 
Hair Cushion Insoles Give Elasticity 
The inner soles of Steel Shoes are springy hair cushions , 
which give elasticity to the tread and absorb the jar when 
you walk on frozen or stony ground. They also absorb 
perspiration and foot odors. 
They are easily slipped out for airing and cleansing. 
Being shaped to fit the feet and having these yielding Hair 
Cushions, Steel Shoes keep your feet free from corns, 
bunions, callouses and soreness. The rigid steel soles 
keep the uppers from cracking, twisting or warping out of 
shape—and the leather never gets hard. The result is the 
most comfortable, durable and satisfactory working shoe 
that you ever put on your feet. After all the discomfort 
of wearing run-over, misshapen leather shoes or hot rub¬ 
ber boots, it’s a treat to your feet to wear “STEELS.” 
Kick Old Leather Shoes, Boots and Arctics Into 
“Kingdom Come”-Wear STEELS! 
Steel Shoes Save Doctors’ Bills 
If you wear Steel Shoes you can work all day 
in mud and water or snow without having wet 
or cold feet. Thus you escape colds, rheuma¬ 
tism, neuralgia and the long train of ills that 
result from cold, wet feet. The dread Pneu¬ 
monia often results from inadequate foot pro¬ 
tection. Steel Shoes pay for themselves again 
and again by preventing sickness and saving 
doctors’ bills. Wear Steel Shoes and you can 
work in cold, wet, stormy weather that would 
otherwise keep you idle. 
Steel Shoes Feel Fine On the Feet 
They need no breaking in. From the very 
moment you first put them on they feel per¬ 
fectly easy and comfortable. They are carefully 
shaped over lasts that were patterned from 
good, honest feet. Easy on—easy off. And easy 
every minute you wear them. They rest the feet 
by affording support exactly where it is needed. 
They do not run over or get tight in places after 
being wet like an all-leather shoe. No more 
tired, aching, blistered, calloused, sore and ten¬ 
der feet if Steel Shoes ate worn. 
Steel Shoes Outwear Three to Six 
Pairs of All-Leathers 
This is a strong statement, which a trial will 
prove to be absolutely true. 
Think what this means in economy! A saving 
of at least $5 to $10 of your shoe money every 
year, to say nothing of the added comfort and 
freedom from colds, aches and pains. Think, 
too, of the saving in time, as you need not stop 
work for bad weather. And yet Steel Shoes 
cost about the same as the work shoes or rubber 
boots you are wearing now.
